Dr. Clay is a middle-aged man who is slightly older, but less than fifty years old. His figure is a bit bloated, but he is well controlled under the limit of "obesity".
It's just that he doesn't have a hair on his head, so he wears a very obvious brown wig. This makes his eyes involuntarily look up when talking to him at close range.
"Dr. Schneider will definitely not come back today?"
Shade, who was holding the cat, reluctantly confirmed that the orange cat Mia had probably never been to a similar occasion, and now she was looking around with her eyes wide open in great interest.
"Yes, when the count's butler came to invite Bill, he already stated the time of this visit."
the doctor repeated.
"Then do you know Doctor Schneider's friend, Miss Dorothy Louisa? Do you know where she lives?"
Shade asked again, if he couldn't find a doctor, then other ring warlocks in the same group could do it. Regarding the statue of the evil god, he had to find someone who could handle the matter carefully.
"Yes, of course I know her. She is a frequent visitor to our clinic. She often comes to visit because of anorexia and insomnia... But I cannot disclose the patient's information at will."
Dr. Clay said apologetically that Shade also knew that his request was a bit excessive, so he could only choose to leave a message to Dr. Schneider.
Although the statue of the evil god that contains the remnants of the old god is not a [relic], its value is still quite high.
Even though the college does not recommend that ring magicians obtain the four elements through contact with such weird items, those professors with tenured teaching positions of nine or more rings in St. Byrons Comprehensive College may pass through the remnants of the old gods.
The stories of the Old Gods are written in the language of power.
This is definitely much safer than Shade being directly affected by the remnants of the old god today, so whether he is worried about Mrs. Lasoya's purpose, or just wants to make a contribution by reporting this matter, it is necessary to ask Schneider as soon as possible
The doctor knows this.
But since the doctor is not here, he can only wait patiently. It is impossible for Shade to report this matter directly to the church. It is not that he cares about the statue of the old blood god being taken away by the church, but that he really does not know
How to report anonymously.
"But the doctor will be back tomorrow, so waiting one more day probably won't cause any problems."
With this thought in mind, he left the doctor's psychological clinic with the cat in his arms. But there was always an uneasy feeling lingering in his heart. This feeling made Shade almost get distracted by a carriage at the intersection on the way back to Saint Teresa Square.
hit.
Shade walked out of the house early in the morning, but because the task of finding the orange cat went so smoothly, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon when he returned home.
He and little Mia had lunch outside, so they had nothing to do for the time being.
Shade left the cat at home, and little Mia was quite adaptable to the unfamiliar environment. She rolled around on the sofa or went to every corner of the room to take a look.
Shade recorded the entire process of the cat search commission in detail in the account books and record books left by the detective, strictly following the format of the previous detective.
After finishing writing, I looked through the detective's past records and planned to complete the remaining two simple tasks, namely the girl who ran away from home and the matter of finding the doctor, in the next few days.
In this way, after receiving the teaching materials from the academy on Wednesday, there will be time to investigate the detective's past acquaintances and find the secrets that Sparrow Hamilton may be hiding.
So Shade spent the afternoon sorting out all the belongings of his former detective and valuing his property. In the evening, he took the cat out for dinner again. On the way back, he bought some breadsticks from a bakery near the square.
Together with milk for breakfast tomorrow morning.
Of course, we can't forget about the high-end cat food. Now that he has received the money, Shade will take good care of the orange kitten.
Therefore, after only two days in this world, Shade became a young detective living in the central square of the kingdom's capital, with a cat and a job.
"Thinking about it this way, my luck is actually quite good...but I have no money."
The evening time was spent on continuing to study [Time and Space] and [Silver Moon]. Because I came into contact with the remnants of the old gods today, the accumulated [Miracle] elements were transformed into more spirits, making the silver light on my fingertips even more dazzling.
But it still has no attack power, but the lighting is enough.
Shade also tried his ability to ignite paper, which was also enhanced by the acquisition of power. Although the young orange cat was frightened by the heat of the paper in Shade's hand, and hid in Shade's arms and refused to leave, but Shade
De was very happy about this.
This kind of study was terminated at almost nine o'clock that night. At that time, Shade was sitting in the study reading the doctor's notes and was troubled by the doctor's cursive writing. At this time, he heard the bell downstairs being rang.
The cat, which was still sleeping on the table, immediately got under the desk, as if it was frightened.
Shade comforted the timid little Mia, walked out of the room in confusion, and followed the stairs to the foyer on the first floor.
"Did the doctor return to the city early and read my message?"
But no, after opening the door, there was a somewhat nervous short, yellow-haired, middle-aged man in a black coat outside. He was looking for the client of Detective Sparrow Hamilton.
Shade's first official commission came to his door.
The man's name is Ragette Franklin, an accountant who lives in the west of Tobesk City, and works for "Hunter and Rolla's Textile Factory." This is not the first time he has come here for a commission, and he and Sparrow
·Detective Hamilton was also an acquaintance, so after being invited in by Shade and served with black tea, he was very shocked by the death of his former detective.
"Sudden illnesses do not even receive effective treatment."
This is the former detective's explanation for his death. Medical care in this era was not developed, and doctors' treatment methods had just moved away from the practice of "bloodletting" and "indoctrination", so people they knew died of sudden illness.
, is not a very rare thing.
"I am the nephew of the detective in my hometown. I have inherited this detective agency. Uncle Sparrow entrusted this place to me before he died."
Shade introduced the identity that the former detective had fabricated for him. Seeing that Mr. Franklin believed this statement, he asked:
"Although Uncle Sparrow is no longer here, I can still complete the commission... and complete the commission more cheaply. May I ask, why are you here so late?"
I don't know whether he was moved by Xia De's sincerity or the "cheaper" promise, but the middle-aged accountant hesitated before talking about his own affairs.
Although they live in the royal capital, Ragette Franklin's family is just an ordinary family in this northern pearl of the Old World. As her husband, Mr. Franklin makes a living by working as an accountant, and Mrs. Franklin has an account in a nearby private library.
The work of a scribe.
The only child in the family, Little Franklin, is the biggest headache for the couple. He was originally a good boy in the family, but since he met a group of bad friends on the street, he hangs out with them all day long and gradually becomes infected.
He fell into the bad habit of gambling, hanging out in nightclubs and underground casinos, stealing money from his family and squandering it.
The first time Mr. Franklin came here for commissions, the first time he asked Detective Sparrow Hamilton to search for little Franklin who had not returned home for three days, and found him in an underground casino in the slums in the north of the city. The second time he asked the detective,
Bring out little Franklin who has been hanging out in the "Lucky Southern Cross Club" for three days.
The main business of that club is alcohol, but at night it turns into an underground casino.
